The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 9

...***...

"......."

"......."

Silence filled the bathroom, but I was no longer afraid of Duke. Was it because this big man was sitting with his knees bent in front of a child and was washing his feet?

After we left the bathroom. As the door opened, Lea, who was anxiously waiting in front of the bathroom, ran over quickly. The Duke handed me to Lea and said, "Go and apply some medicine."

"Yes?"

"Medicine."

"Oh, yes, medicine!"

Lea and her servant, who were in a state of panic, walked down the hall, almost as fast as running. The servants who came into the room gasped. Lea whispered little by little, while drying my wet hair.

"It's okay, son."

"......."

"Nobody's mad at you."

"......."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Her voice was so sweet that I could only cry.

...***...

After that incident, I spent the day tense. But the Duke really didn't scold me. He didn't tell the empress about the Newt I destroyed, nor did he send me back to the capital. There was not even an expression of anger on his face.

And also...

‘He didn't throw away the flowers I gave.’

It was not a carefully cared for flower in the garden, but a wildflower that happened to bloom on the lawn of the garden. And those wildflowers are currently in Duke Dubbede's vase office.

When I saw a wildflower with a bunch of hairy flowers in a very luxurious vase, I was touched.

‘What do you think?’

If it was someone else, not the Duke, you would have thought not to throw away the flowers that a child picked in the middle of the night.

‘But you're Duke Dubbede, aren't you?’

Theodore Dubbede, who massacred innocent people. He's been soft on me ever since that day.

‘This is so delicious!’

A chicken dish cooked with a sweet sauce after mixing chicken with various spices is really delicious. The meat is soft and the sauce is sweet and salty.

"......."

What's wrong with her?

‘You want to eat this?’

I slipped my hand on the plate for fear that I would lose my precious chicken leg. Then Duke's eyebrows moved.

‘You are very evil, very evil.’

You ate the big lamb steak alone, but you even wanted children's food.

I'm really grateful he let Newt's case down.

Newt is a precious treasure. When it was in the hands of the Emperor, the pope visited the Imperial Palace and asked it to be kept in the church. Not only is it valuable because of its historical values, but its usefulness is endless.

For a long time I decided to give the chicken legs to Duke. I bit my lip and broke a chicken leg.

I stretched out my hand.

"I'll give it to you." (i'll give it to you)

He furrowed his brows as he watched me wag the chicken legs with a sad face.

"What's...."

A short laugh came from his mouth.

"I want to open your head to know what you're thinking."

Are you really going to break my head? I protected my head with both hands in fear.

"Open and kamy dead!" (Open up and you die!)

Then there was laughter at the door. It was Nos who carried the paper. He pretended to cough when Duke's gaze turned towards me.

"This is a list of possible guests of the Emperor's invitation."

"You found a replacement for Newt?"

"We got a pretty good offer from the traders."

"I've been told that the item will arrive this afternoon."

Newt's replacement. I don't know, but it might be too expensive to imagine.

‘But I'm glad you guys found a replacement.’

If Dubblede was crazy enough to give the already dusty Newt to the emperor, it meant there had to be something the emperor received instead. If the deal breaks down because of me, adoption won't go smoothly. Goods found by trading partners should be really good.

‘But I haven't heard to date that the traders brought something worth Newt.’

I mumbled casually. "Pediment." (Trader)"

And Nos grinned, "Are you curious what trading is?"

"The merchant is someone who sells goods between countries."

Come to think of it, the word was hard for a boy to understand, so I said, "Wow!" and pretend to be surprised.

"You want to see a trade?"

"Yes, the idea of the swagus." (Yes, great idea.)

I don't really want to know. But what goods are brought by merchants?

"You can look around the stuff. There are many unique things, so it would be nice to look around."

Of course I want to, but...

I glanced at the duke. I was wondering what I would do, if you asked me if I would spoil those things. But I don't talk much.

‘Thank God I gave you chicken feet.’

After the Duke and Nos left the dining area to talk about the Emperor's birthday, I decided to go to the library with Lea and the other servants to spend some time until the trading partner came.

"You haven't seen the library in Dubbede castle, have you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Full book. Of course, there are many books."

My eyes were almost out when I entered the door that Lea had opened.

‘Yes God. Great library!’

Even the ceiling of the room, which was about the size of a field on horseback, was larger than that. The stairs were circular in the shape of a vortex in the middle, and countless bookshelves were placed on each floor. You don't find any empty space on the long bookshelf that seems to be over three meters tall. I turned to the fairytale section, looked through the library, which was huge.

"Now, pick one!" Said the waiter with sparkling eyes.

Their eyes are like the eyes of parents who want to see what kind of book their child wants.

I was pushed to the front of the bookshelf by a damning gaze. I have to pretend I can't read yet, so I'm going to pick a beautiful cover book.

While looking through which books were the most colorful, I found something unusual and blinked.

‘Why doesn't this one have a title?’

Moreover, only half of the books were left, and another half were torn. I tilted my head and opened the book.

‘This is not a fairy tale book.’

The holiest achievement of the founding emperor Fred I was defeating this faction, the forces of evil spirits. According to Ivan's account, there are two conditions for making the embodiment of evil spirits. The first is contact with the new material, which is the key to awakening potential power, and the acquisition of a medium that allows the use of force.

It ends there. The rest were cut off, so I couldn't read more.

‘How short is once.’

Then Leah asked, "Little Miss, have you chosen?"

I immediately released the book I was holding, and took out any book next to it.

"Let's go back and read it in a fun way."

I grabbed Lea's hand and left the library. The waiter had great storytelling talent and played the role coolly, but my mind was occupied by something.

I kept thinking about the untitled book I read in the library.

‘Why is the content related to evil spirits?’

The evil spirit is also related to me.

The godly god, the mother of the Empire, sealed the evil spirit, the source of evil for humans.

However the seal becomes loose as time passes, and it takes the power of Mina, the child of destiny, to seal back the evil spirit.

‘And I was a victim for his ritual.’

The ritual was so painful that I wanted to kill them as soon as possible. When I remembered it, my face darkened, and Lea looked at me with a worried expression.

"Why are you putting on a sad face?"

I couldn't say that I remembered my past memories, so I rolled my eyes and said.

"Because I'm afraid of lions." (because I fear lions)

Then the waiter shouted, "Kyaa!" and raise their fists.

"Once~~ Our baby is afraid lion~~"

The servants, then rubbed my cheeks on either side of my face. I held the servant's hand with blurred eyes.

There's a commotion outside. Lea opened the door slightly and looked into the hallway.

"It looks like the merchant has arrived."

Then he approached me.

"Let's go see?"

I grabbed Lea's hand and left the room.

When I arrived, the duke sat in an ivory chair. Behind his chair, I saw a tapestry with an ancient language, it was a symbol of Dubbede's military might.

In front of him was a man who seemed to be a trading partner. I immediately recognized the man.

‘Why that bastard is here!’

Merchant Turva.

Later on, he would become a scum who became a fugitive for selling fake paintings to the imperial family.
